2012 August: Food Costs Killing You?

Is your bottom line being adversely affected by food costs? If so, Big Dave Ostrander has this to say:

“After I realized that I was leaving tens of thousands of profit dollars unaccounted for, I studied and achieved the perfect food cost month in and month out. The biggest breakthroughs I discovered were:

Placing in-line portion control scales on my make line

Pre-weighing cheese cups

Placing portion size cheat sheets at eye level with my cooks

Having high accountability for achieving food cost on my managers’ shoulders. This meant rewards and penalties.”
